If you go:
This is the first place on the eastern seaboard to see the sun rise from October to March so set your alarm, fill the flask with coffee and get here early - the car park is frequently full to overflowing by the crowds waiting to capture this photogenic moment. Sunsets can be just as spectacular - and busy!
